I'm wondering if the NSA will keep Sheehan from returning to the U.S.

I think they should seriously consider it.

"She accused Alito of trying to restrict Congress' power"

Actuallt, if Roe v Wade is reversed, wouldn't that take the issue away from judicial fiat and return it to the legislatures where it belongs, in other words, returning power to the congress?

If her 1000 other antics did not prove it, this proves beyond a shawdow of a doubt, Sheehan never cared about her son just her leftwing politics.

"I'm confused, is she going to run against Hittlary or Fineswine?"

She'll run against anybody. She has a serious case of the runs. Must be the water in Venezuela.

What does Alito on the USSC have to do with her ostensible cause (the war in Iraq)?

Cindy Sheehan has one cause, and one cause only--Cindy Sheehan.

Why bring his mother into this?

She's been after Barbara for a while .. Something about a response Barbara said when a reporter ask her about Cindy camping out at the President's Ranch last August ... though I can't remember exactly what Barbara said

Personally, I think that Feinstein asked Sheehan to make that comment.

She has wanted a reason to vote against him from the beginning, but needed a good reason.

She can now make it appear that she is giving into popular demand.

What the heck is that all about?

It's sort of like the basement hearings. They are running their own alternative shadow government.

Cindy Sheehan to protest at State of the Union January 31

On January 31st , we will be in Washington, DC for the State of the Union address when George gets in front of Congress and the world and lies through his teeth about how great everything is going in Iraq and here at home. His idiotic policies have ruined Iraq and New Orleans and made the world a more dangerous place...allowing that terrorist attacks have tripled world wide since he decided to "fight them over there." He also may be laying the ground work for further acts of needless aggression against Syria and Iraq. GSFP (Gold Star Families for Peace)and representatives from other peace organizations and refugees from New Orleans will be gathering in DC to give the "Real State of the Union." Check our website for place and time.

* January 31, 2006 The People's State of the Union Address in Washington D.C. Come join peace activist such as Cindy Sheehan and Ann Wright as they deliever the true State of the Union. More details will be coming soon.

Bush Administration Seeks to Squelch State of the Union Protest at Capitol on January

31 January 22, 2006

World Can’t Wait Capitol Hill Office:
511 ‘C’ St. NE Washington DC 20002, Stanton Square DC

PRESS CONTACT: Don Spark, 202-536-4310, donspark@worldcantwait.org

Press Conference: Monday, January 23, 9:30 a.m.
National Press Club,
Edward R. Murrow Room 529 14th Street, NW
Washington DC

The Bush administration has expanded the special security zone around the Capitol, effectively denying a meaningful public space for a protest called by World Can’t Wait-Drive Out the Bush Regime during the State of the Union address on January 31, 2006. This action, one of many held simultaneously that night at 8pm EST in cities and towns across the country, calls for symbolically “drowning out Bush’s lies” and demands “BUSH STEP DOWN.”

At a meeting on January 10 with the National Park Service Police, Capitol Police, and National Parks Department, the World Can’t Wait was offered the area surrounding the Capitol Reflecting Pool for the January 31st gathering. This was accepted by World Can’t Wait. However, on January 19, the organization received word that this area had been reclassified as part of a “secure perimeter” for that day.

In addition, the grass areas of the National Mall have been closed for “turf renovation” up to 7th Street. Thus, the proposed demonstration area is restricted to the “gravel and concrete walkways of the national Mall between 3rd and 4th Streets.”

What does Alito have to do with Cindy's dead son? I think she's a missin' the spotlight some and is experiencing scope-creep on her bereavement and hostility towards the war.

This is perhaps funnier than Kerry calling for a filibuster from Davos. ;)
